Music, society and emancipation: A improbable process for a impossible reader

Review of SAFATLE, Vladimir. Em um com o Impulso. Belo Horizonte: Editora Autêntica, 2022

Abstract

Review of Em Um com o Impulso, by Vladimir Safatle. The book deals with social emancipation through the aesthetics of art. The book starts by criticizing the traditional association between autonomy, modernity, and social emancipation, and is divided into three parts: the first deals with autonomy; the second, with the sublime; and the third, with expression. There is also an excerpt and a conclusion. The general perspective has the bias of the Adornian negative dialectic linked to psychoanalysis - a bias well-known in the author's work.
